Haunted
The Coronas Lyrics

Put it off 'til you see me, be a better friend
Delay the conversation until we're face to face and approach it with empathy

I'm caught, gotta break away, yeah
I feel trapped in this situation and need to find a way out

We stalled it, we're stallin'
Our relationship has hit a roadblock and we're not progressing

And it won't be wasted
Even though our efforts seem fruitless, the time spent won't be a complete loss

I'll always give you praise
I remain appreciative of your efforts and contributions

Didn't you let me chase you down, yeah
It was you who allowed me to pursue you in the first place

We fought the wrong way round
We tackled the issue in a counterproductive manner

I'll see that it gets to you, yeah
I'll make sure my message reaches you

You know I love you, but there's an easier way
I do have strong feelings for you, but there's a simpler approach we can take

You tell me I sing things that I'm afraid to say
You recognize that I express myself through music because I have trouble verbalizing my emotions

I'm not above it, I'm just upside down
I'm not indifferent; I'm just confused and disoriented

We don't have to talk, we can just make sounds
We don't need deep conversations; we can communicate through nonverbal cues

So show me something
Demonstrate your willingness to work on this relationship

I think we're haunted
I suspect that our past experiences are hindering our progress

You show me something
I need you to make a gesture of good faith as well

We must be haunted
Our relationship is still tormented by unresolved issues

And I know I'm impatient, but I wait for a cure
Despite my impatience, I'm willing to wait for a solution

Don't think it's me that you're facing, you've got your heart secure
It's not just me that's causing the problem; you're guarded as well

So I'll leave when it's over, if I'm even allowed
If the relationship ends, I'll accept it and move on if given the chance

Won't stop as we both get older, we fall the wrong way round
As time goes on, we continue to handle things in an unproductive manner

So show me something
I need some sort of affirmation that you're invested in this relationship

I think we're haunted
I believe our problems stem from lingering issues from the past

You show me something
You need to demonstrate your effort and commitment as well

You must be haunted
You're also struggling with unresolved issues that are affecting our relationship

Show me something
Give me some sort of proof that you're still invested in us

I think we're haunted
I still believe we're affected by our past experiences and mistakes

You must be haunted
Your behavior also suggests that you're still grappling with unresolved issues
